This hairless guinea pig eating a cucumber is the cute fix you need

Brace yourself — you’re about to meet the most adorable guinea pig in the world. This is Ludwik.

Ludwik’s Instagram adventures have won him almost 250,000 fans, and after one look at his pics it’s easy to see why. When he’s not munching on apples or lettuce, he can be seen modeling the latest fashion trends, including his own line of designer socks.

His is a true rags-to-riches story.e started his life in a pet store in Poland in a situation that was far from ideal.Things went from bad to worse when the lovable little guy got sick with pneumonia, a fungal infection, and conjunctivitis. Everything changed when Agata Nowacka stopped by and fell head over heels in love with that sweet smile and big ears. Agata took Ludwik home, helped him get healthy, and the rest is history!

It took almost six months of rehab before Ludwik was ready for the spotlight, but once he was recovered he wasted no time fulfilling his destiny as an Instagram superstar. Agata told The Dodo, “He seems to enjoy his photo sessions, and sometimes he even falls asleep, so I think he feels very comfortable.” And we couldn’t be happier for this ball of cuteness!

And if you want to adopt a guinea pig as adorable as Ludwik, it’s your lucky day. There are thousands of piggies out there in need of homes. You can search on Adopt-a-Pet.com, check out specific guinea pig rescues like Have a Heart, or visit your local animal shelter.
